No non US nationals allowed to fly to the US from UK & Ireland from midnight Monday. Just announced by Trump.

Going to America in 5 months, is it too early to panic :eek:

I have a flight booked to gran canaria for tomorrow. Today's flights have been cancelled as there is an imminent lockdown in Spain.
I'm not really interested in making a change but it's better than losing all of my money for 5 seats.
However if the flight is cancelled, I'll receive a refund. It's going to be a waiting game tonight

France goes to level 3. Closing all non essential public spaces including bars and pubs etc.

Maybe the DFA will upgrade their France travel advice now.

Latest news everybody has to assemble down the square, your temperature will be taken, people with high temperature must move to the left, normal temperature go to the right, scary.

Where is this happening?

what are the chances of the government stopping flights before tuesday? due to fly into dublin monday night from the uk, if they will cancel flights i'll have to book a flight to belfast and travel down by road.

A lot of people seem to have had success pushing dates out into the future so maybe contact hotels / airlines and try that? Were in uncharted territory here and anything can happen, lots of airlines and hotels will go bust over this but best to try and reschedule.

Just wondering if anyone has got through to ebookers regarding cancelling/modifying a non-refundable booking... seeing as this is uncharted territory thought I might give it a try? Tried calling yesterday and today with no success... didn't try too hard given the nature of the query!!!

Really thought we were covered re. non refundable bookings with insureandgo but this was not the case.

I've checked in online in the hope of giving them a nudge
I think the 24th will def be cancelled

Hope so! I'd be thinking the one's tomorrow also!

Airbnb have a new cancellation policy as of today. We were able to get a full refund for our Airbnb in France just now.

Just a return flight from Geneva to figure out now but EI is offering a free change.

In Lanzarote now business as usual for the moment but that’ll change we’re told from Monday. Irish bars packed along the strip but the resort noticeably quieter but not deserted. Army not on streets or anything like that.

My friend in Lanzarote has just been told by the police to shut his bar, the police going to each bar and restaurant to tell them to do the same.

VHI Multitrip don't, see their very clear advice on claims ref Covi-19 here.

AA travel insurance are also covering travel cancellation due to dfa s recommendations re.covid 19. I really want to put it out there how limited insureandgo's policy (gold) turned out to be!! Never again with them! You live and learn!

What level of dfa advice are vhi/as insurances paying out? Is it no non-essential travel (Spain/France) or do not travel (Italy)

Each differ,

VHI covers either no essential travel or do not travel.

A lot only cover do not travel - check your policy.
